Summary: encourages self evaluation
Review: This book was worthwhile. It illustrates what it really means to follow Christ-- and that entails serving others and making personal sacrifices. The characters in the book (wealthy, high society types) were kind of hard to relate to but the idea is easily extended to all people. It's effectiveness will be measured if it leads you to ponder "What would Jesus do...if he were me...if he were in my situation?" It's encouraging to read how those who made the commitment to more closely follow Christ were able to encourage and support each other. Also brings out the point that many people working together for good can have a great impact on society. This book doesn't grab you like a good mystery novel, but the author clearly makes his point- and that point is one we can all benefit from.

Summary: Could be better
Review: This starts out fine, with a great premise (living your life asking "What would Jesus do?" in each situation), but gets bogged down about 2/3 of the way through and doesn't recover. Plus, the author only tackles this from the patronizing view of the rich practicing Christianity on those less fortunate. Too bad he didn't throw in a few chapters from the viewpoint of po' folks. Still, the original premise is well worth thinking about.

Summary: Very relevant and thought provoking.
Review: Those four simple words "What would Jesus do?" will haunt and inspire you as you live and grow.

Summary: In His Steps, boy was I in for a suprize...
Review: To tell you the truth when I found out I had to read this for school, I thought it would (...)... But I read it and here's what I think...(You can hear my opinion, but read this book yourself as well, trust me and be open-minded!!!)
So it goes, a pastor of a church Henry Maxwell is interupted in finishing writing his sermon for Sunday morning tomorrow when the doorbell rings and he has to answer it because his wife is out. Well when he opens the door there is what a appears to be a tramp(A dirty shabby man), asking for work. But Henry is kind and tells him he knows of none. The man leaves and Henry get's back to work. Henry was proud of his sermon, until the next morning at church, after the sermon is over the man(supposed tramp)burst into the church and runs up to the front of the church where the pastor is. He tells them he is no tramp nor drunk. But he is searching for work and everyone has been rude to him and that they could not be real questions, and he really questions them what it is to follow in Jesus steps. Then the man passes outSo starts the amazing revelation of the First Church of Raymond, Henry is so moved by the question, which questions his own discipleship that he asked anyone who is willing to meet him in a room after the service if they are willing to take a pledge to ask the question "What Would Jesus Do?" no matter what the consequences of anything including: Social and financial loss... What good is money and social status after you are dead anyways? around 50 ppl in the first week promise to take the pledge. Which changes the course of life not only in Raymond, but in many other cities to come as well. It is a little slow the first few pages, but quickly speeds up. The author develops the story through the development of the characters, and is a very nice change from the normal novels most of us read. Plus it has all the ingredients of most novels and so much more. It has murder,deception,and greed, but also contains Godly principals which build the book. I was not let down, but was amazed at how good the book was, since I expected it to (...)!!! So come in with low expectations and an open-mind and you are sure to enjoy this book and be truely inspired. It is especially for Christains and non-Christains as well!!! HAPPY READING!!!

Summary: Magnificent - and fun, too!
Review: What a wonderful multi-purpose book!!! On the one hand, it is a Christian classic, inspiring and story-telling and teaching at the same time. On the other hand, it is also just a great read, a real story covering people who will matter to you, over a period of years. Also, it's a love story, a business story, and a mystery! It offers everything a contemporary Christian might want in a book for pleasure. I only hope they keep reprinting it, because it was actually written in 1929! Enjoy it!!!!
